Abstract: L'invention concerne un élément qui comprend une feuille allongée de matière comportant deux parties d'extrémité et une partie centrale. Chacune des parties d'extrémité est pourvue d'un crochet conçu pour recevoir les poignées en plastique d'un sac à provisions ou analogue. L'élément peut être en plastique moulé par injection ; il peut être d'épaisseur uniforme, ou présenter une épaisseur réduite sélectivement à des fins d'économie de matière et de poids dans les régions où un surplus de matière n'est pas essentiel à l'intégrité de l'élément. Une charnière est prévue entre les parties centrale et d'extrémité pour permettre aux parties d'extrémité de fléchir ou de plier hors du plan de la partie centrale sous le poids des sacs portés. Ce système permet de répartir le poids des sacs et de maintenir la partie centrale sensiblement plate afin d'éviter un cintrage excessif, et d'épargner à l'utilisateur une compression de la main et des douleurs éventuelles.

Title: Procede et appareil pour la fourniture de services de donnees differees dans un systeme de communication cellulaire
Inventor: HARRIS JOHN M
IPC: H04L47/20
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un système de communication (100) qui, lors de la réception d'une instruction pour le transfert de données différées, détermine si une interface hertzienne (128) est congestionnée et, lorsque l'interface hertzienne est congestionnée, diffère un transfert de données aptes à être différées ou effectue le transfert de données aptes à être différées, de faible priorité sous la forme de données à haute priorité. Lorsque, durant un transfert de données aptes à être différées, le système détermine que l'interface hertzienne est congestionnée, le système peut mettre fin à l'appel et sauvegarder un état d'un transfert de données différées partiellement complété. Suite à la fin de l'appel, le système établit une autre connexion de données sur l'interface hertzienne et effectue le transfert de toutes données aptes à être différées non encore transférées. Afin de décourager les abonnés d'effectuer le transfert de données de haute priorité sous la forme de données de faible priorité, le système peut en outre limiter le transfert de données de faibles priorité pendant des intervalles de temps spécifiés et d'autres intervalles de temps.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à des systèmes, à des appareils et à des procédés permettant de déterminer le nombre de personnes se trouvant dans une foule, à l'aide de données d'enveloppes visuelles. Dans un mode de réalisation, un capteur d'images génère une image classique d'une foule. Une image silhouette est ensuite déterminée à partir de l'image classique. L'intersection du cône de l'image silhouette et d'un volume de travail est déterminée. La projection de l'intersection sur un plan est déterminée. L'on agrège les projections planes issues de plusieurs capteurs d'images, en procédant à leur intersection, ce qui permet de former un motif de subdivision. Les polygones qui sont vides sont identifiés et éliminés. Des limites supérieures et inférieures du nombre de personnes dans chaque polygone sont déterminées et stockées dans une structure de données arborescente. Ledit arbre est mis à jour au fil du temps, et de nouvelles informations sont reçues des capteurs d'images. Le nombre de personnes se trouvant dans la foule correspond à la limite inférieur du noeud racine de l'arbre.

Abstract: Polymeric microstructures and nanostructures can be prepared with use of a tip to pattern a surface. A tip can be used to pattern a structure which can initiate polymerization. The structure can be then exposed to monomer to induce polymerization at the structure. Alternatively, a tip can be used to pattern a surface with a monomer in which the surface is treated with polymerization catalyst so that polymerization occurs at the patterning site. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization can be carried out with use of the tip to control the polymerization. The tip can be a sharp tip as used in for example an atomic force microscope tip. Norbornene types of monomers can be used. Biological macromolecules can be also prepared.
